I cast my thoughts upon the internet and it has arisen

Max Von Sydow has passed. He was 90.
This is the mural that inspired the scene we’re all thinking of – it’s from a late medieval mural in a church in Täby outside Stockholm.
emailed a friend
went for a walk with her
Missed out on a chance to walk with Alex…. sigh
Beautiful sunny Sunday.
Virus replication is aided by arginine and slowed by Lysine
anecdotally it shaves a couple of days off a bout
Eat these Foods Rich in Lysine (and low in arginine)
- Yogurt
- Most cheese (and other dairy products)
- Apples, mangoes, apricots, pears (and many other fruits).
- Fish (especially flounder)
- Most poultry and meat
Avoid these foods rich in Arginine (and low in lysine)
- Most nuts
- Most seeds
- Many grains (including oats and wheat).
- Jello
- Chocolate
Or just take supplements
a few thotz
When I look back on the ways our parents didn’t consider us to be property I realize how unbelievably lucky we were. Privacy is hardbaked into my conception of a family. We look after each other and leave each other the fuck alone, and those actions co-exist without difficulty.
Two generations of not being required to do math for real world situations have really fucked up the American Health care shitstem. You try to explain exponential growth on the basis of R 2.5 and doubling every 6 days and you LITERALLY have people tell you that you don’t understand math and you’re an alarmist. The person providing the info TEACHES MATHEMATICS AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL. The other person is an antivaxxer.
We shall see what becomes of the antivaxx movement after Darwin’s latest winnowing fan comes through.
little walk
Paul and I took a tour around the 12th Avenue School yard, which has lovely cottonwood trees all around it.
I am thinking of self isolating except for my mammogram and picking Alex up next week.
late post
lovely brekky at De Dutch with Paul and Keith and Katie and no Alex. Katie got her taxes back so founded the feast.
@CryptoNature, today, on twitter: Creature in the woods. 100 degrees in winter. Tall with calcium from the soil. Red with the mountain’s iron. Awake in the name of sea salt and summer rain. Pattern watcher. You who burden nature with names, then lift it up in song. Remember who you are. They can’t make you small.
waiting is
I have an enormous list of things to do for the rest of my life (I sat in the bath and made a list) and I’ve actually ticked two of the items off!!! I got up and got dressed, too.
make it staaahp

bless the Spaniards
The Spanish, because their public health people are a) funded and b) adequately fixed for cerebration have started autopsying folks what died of Pneumonia of unknown origin and guess what, the first person to die of Coronavirus in Spain was February 13, a 69 year old man who had recently flown in from Nepal.
In consequence of this they know what iteration of the virus is circulating and have a long list of folks to contact, the way you’re supposed to.
Whereas in the US, 45 says everything’s cool and his son is organizing a donor meet at Mar-a-Lago in August, at which I hope the Masque of the Red Fucking Death shows up (hat tip to Bae’d Runner on twitter for that).
Please don’t say that the coronavirus will only kill the elderly and disabled. My best people are elderly and disabled.
I’m taking Jeff out to brekky this morning and then we will do a small shop.
